Targets for improving disparate head and neck cancer outcomes in the low-income population.
Review in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Low-income patients have worse head and neck cancer outcomes than those with high-income. Yet, few targets have been identified to specifically improve outcomes in the low-income population. Here, we conduct a review on the current literature on head and neck cancer outcomes in the low-income population and identify targets for intervention. The degree of disparity is in the range of 20%-90% worse overall survival in the low-income population. Eliminating smoking would have the greatest effect on head and neck cancer mortality rates in the low-income population. Additionally, access to oral cancer exams, assistance with transportation, and continued expansion of telemedicine would facilitate early diagnosis and timely treatment in patients who develop head and neck cancer.
